Chapter two hundred and seventy seventh frightening astronomical numbers
Qin Hai would naturally not give each person a coupon of only 50 US dollars. Although 50 US dollars was already a large amount of income for these diplomats, Qin Hai's profit this time was really too great. If he only
Giving each translator a mere $50 as labor service made him feel a little uneasy.
Secretary Guo distributed the shopping coupons in the envelopes to everyone. Everyone was blinded by the denominations on the shopping coupons. They smiled so hard that they could not remember the hard work during the day. Everyone asked Guo one after another.
The secretary said: The affairs of domestic enterprises are the affairs of diplomats like them. No matter how tired we are these days, we will never smear foreign affairs.
When Qin Hai gave away the coupons, he could already foresee the effect. At this moment, he was in Cui Hongchun's room, reporting today's sales results to Cui Hongchun.
"Xiao Qin, I realize now that I, an old man, was deceived by you." Cui Hongchun laughed and said to Qin Hai.
"Why did Minister Cui say this? I have always been honest." Qin Hai pretended to be aggrieved and said.
Cui Hongchun asked secretary Li Yang who was sitting next to him: "Li Yang, do you think Xiao Qin is an honest person?"
"Well..." Li Yang was embarrassed. His boss was teasing others, and he couldn't agree or refute. How could he catch up? At this time, pretending to be mute is probably the best choice.
"You keep saying that you are servicing our agricultural machinery systems, and you have developed a thermal spray process to treat the basic parts of agricultural machinery of our companies. But in fact, you are using our products to advertise your thermal spray machines. We
Not only did I not receive advertising fees, but I also had to pay you processing fees. Tell me, are you a profiteer?" Cui Hongchun asked.
Qin Hai shook his head desperately: "Minister Cui, you misunderstood. I really asked Professor Li and Professor Yue to help us with this thermal spraying process so that we could win a prize at the expo. I didn't expect this thing to be available in advance.
With such a big market, we still worry about losing money. You know, I have invested tens of millions in developing this technology."
Qin Hai exaggerated the investment of several million by ten times as soon as he spat out. However, even if he invested several million, from the perspective of others, it was an extremely risky thing. Before today, Li Linguang
He Yue Kun has always been uneasy about this matter, fearing that he would not be able to earn back the money he spent.
Cui Hongchun was already immune to Qin Hai's nonsense. He knew that Qin Hai would never say anything casually on business matters, but when he was joking, he never told the truth. He smiled and said: "You said you invested tens of millions
, who would believe it? It’s just such a small piece of equipment. If tens of millions are needed, then why don’t we invest hundreds of millions or billions to build a big tractor?”
Qin Haidao: "Minister Cui, I cannot agree with what you say. The value of something has nothing to do with its size. You see, our thermal spray machine is not big, but its value is really no less than a tractor.
Besides, can our tractors enter the international market? The number of registered purchase intentions for our thermal spray machines today has reached more than 400 units in one day, which is incomparable to our tractors, right?"
"Only more than 400 units." Cui Hongchun said nonchalantly. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that the thermal spray machine was different from the basic parts. The prices of the two were completely different. He sat up straight and looked at Qin Hai.
He said in surprise: "No, you can actually sell more than 400 units? Let me do the math. One of your machines costs more than 200,000 US dollars, and 400 units is... 80 million! Can there be so many?"
Seeing Cui Hongchun's expression of disbelief, Qin Hai sighed secretly, organized his words in his mind, and said: "Minister Cui, you are mistaken. Our machine is priced at US$2.2 million each. So...
…”
"2.2 million! Then...then isn't that 800 million? How is this possible!" Cui Hongchun was completely dumbfounded. He previously said that a thermal spray machine costs more than 200,000 US dollars. In fact, it was the result of some psychological implications, that is
He thinks that such a little thing is not
It is possible to earn so much foreign exchange. Even so, a figure of more than 80 million still shocked him. Who would have expected that the number Qin Hai told him was actually 10 times higher than this. This is already an amazing figure.
It’s an astronomical number that’s unimaginable.
"Minister, I remember that Xiao Qin's thermal spray machine was said to be worth US$2.2 million at the beginning." Li Yang noticed his boss's consternation and suspicion, and reminded him softly.
"A company of yours actually signed a business worth 800 million U.S. dollars?" Cui Hongchun's heart was churning. He didn't know how to talk to Qin Hai. Let alone back then, even in the 21st century, a private company
Being able to sign a large order of US$800 million at an expo is shocking enough. The leaders of such a company are proud of themselves in front of a ministerial-level cadre.
"It's just an intention." Qin Hai desperately wanted to keep this matter low-key.
Qin Hai would not be willing to reveal the truth to Cui Hongchun if he could not hide it. Today, foreign merchants registered purchase intentions for more than 440 units at their booth, and the total amount was not 800 million, but US$1 billion.
Among these merchants, some have only registered, while others have already paid the deposit. If the payment of the deposit is used as the basis for winning, there are more than 100 units in total, totaling nearly 300 million U.S. dollars in sales.
Qin Hai knows the cost of a thermal spray machine very well. According to the loosest standard, it is more than 400,000 yuan, equivalent to 100,000 U.S. dollars. The cost of 100,000 U.S. dollars and the selling price of 2.2 million U.S. dollars.
The profit from each piece of equipment reached 2.1 million U.S. dollars. It can be said that most of the sales are profits. He made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits at once. Not to mention Cui Hongchun, even Qin Hai himself felt dizzy.
A strange feeling.
"Xiao Qin and their thermal spray machines are now receiving deposits in advance. Each unit costs 100,000 US dollars, which will be deposited into our delegation's account. I just went to ask the finance department and they received the deposit for the thermal spray machine today.
, a total of 13 million US dollars." Li Yang promptly provided Cui Hongchun with a figure.
"13 million... This means that we have received deposits for 130 units of equipment. 130 units, calculated at US$2.2 million per unit, is..." Cui Hongchun started counting with his fingers.
Li Yang had an extremely vivid mind and answered immediately: "It's 2086 million."
"It's nearly 300 million." Cui Hongchun said. He looked at Qin Hai and saw that Qin Hai was sitting upright with no trace of arrogance on his face. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "Xiao Qin, I didn't expect you to do this.
Thermal spray machine actually has this
Such a big market... I now understand why you insist on selling thermal spray machines abroad. The foreign exchange income of 300 million US dollars is more than the basic parts sold by so many of our agricultural machinery factories plus one piece. This is indeed a big deal.
It’s something worth doing.”
Qin Haidao: "Actually, what we are playing is a time lag, because foreign countries have not realized that thermal spraying can be so widely used, so they have insufficient investment in scientific research, allowing us to seize the opportunity. After today, I believe that all countries will increase their investment in scientific research."
With the huge investment in this field and the industrial and technological foundation of developed countries, it will be very quick to develop thermal spray equipment that is better than ours.
While foreign countries have not yet developed this kind of equipment, let's make some money first. When they come up with similar equipment, our sales will definitely drop and the price will have to be lowered. By then it will be too late to regret."
"Your idea is very correct!" Cui Hongchun said, "I support you. By the way, I heard that Professor Li and Professor Yue spent several months to build one device. You have now collected 130 devices.
Can you pay the deposit for production?"
"We must establish our own production base, but there are still some difficulties now. When we return to China, I am afraid we will have to ask Minister Cui for help," Qin Hai said.
The first thermal spray machine built by Li Linguang and Yue Kun was basically a laboratory product. Only some parts were entrusted to the factory for processing. After the prototype was finalized, Qin Hai found two machines in Beixi through Ning Zhongying.
The factory comes to the factory for production, and is finally assembled at the Qingfeng factory. The output can be about 20 units a month.
Regarding the sales volume of thermal spray machines, Qin Hai had made some estimates in advance and felt that two to three hundred units a year was probably more realistic. Calculating this, the current OEM model could be used to cope with it. But today, when he looked at the sales of foreign merchants
Performance, Qin Hai began to feel that there was something wrong with his idea.
One of the problems is naturally low estimate of demand and insufficient production capacity preparation. This problem is actually not troublesome and can be solved by just finding a few more factories to collaborate.
The key problem is that the sales volume is too appalling. A business worth hundreds of millions of dollars can be achieved by relying solely on OEMs from machinery factories in several counties. This inevitably gives rise to all kinds of ideas. As an OEM
Enterprises, Qin Hai has no binding force on them, and cannot guarantee that technical secrets and business secrets will not be leaked. Once something goes wrong, Qin Hai will really cry without tears.
Thinking of this, Qin Hai had to ask Cui Hongchun for help. He even thought about asking Yang Xinyu, Yang Yihe and others to help him after returning to China. Although he had friendship with these people in the past, he had to ask them to help him
It was still a bit inconvenient to do things. But now, he believed that he had such qualifications and a large business that earned hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange, which was enough for provincial and ministry leaders to carefully take care of him.
"This is completely appropriate!" Cui Hongchun agreed without hesitation. Of the many large state-owned agricultural machinery companies under his command, none of them can achieve a turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars. And the conditions these companies usually ask for from the ministry are far from the best. There are much more requests than Qin Hai's. What reason does he have to refuse Qin Hai's request?
